Another possible solution (haven't tested this specifically, though it
works with other Preference Panes) is to move the "Displays.prefPane"
file from /System/Library/PreferencePanes/, and make a copy in
~/Library/PreferencePanes for each user you want to grant access to
that Pane to. This should allow you to restrict even the visibility of
the Display prefpane on a per-user basis.
Hmm...that's a little weird, haven't tried that. What you're describing
is moving the whole preference pane, not moving the preference file.
The pref panes are like little applications, and they store their
preferences in preference files, which usually end in .plist.
I know doing similar things by creating user level mirrors of Library
level prefence files usually works though. So if there's a file stored
at...
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Something.plist
you can move or duplicate that to...
~JoeUser/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Something.plist
Thus instead of that preference applying to every user of the machine,
now JoeUser can have his own preferences separate from everyone else's.
This doesn't always work, but often does.
Note: if this makes little or no sense to you, do not try to do it. If
this does make sense to you, make sure you know how to extricate
yourself from any possible messes you get yourself into through
experimenting with this non-standard setup.
